A Platform to connect passionate players.

I am working on a project which aim is to connect passionate players nearby. suppose if u wants to play a sport but you have no one to play with. What about a website that connect people in your area together so you could play a game ? Say you wanted to have a game of cricket, you could go into the site type in cricket and your area and a list of local games or people interested in playing would come up on the screen you send direct message or invitation too.
